MSI unveils A320M Grenade AM4 motherboard

MSI has shown off its newest A320M Grenade AM4 motherboard based on AMD's cheaper A320 chipset.

Based on the micro-ATX form-factor and featuring a 5-phase VRM that draws power from a 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS power connectors, the MSI A320M Grenade motherboard has two DDR4 DIMM slots, a single PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot, two PCI-Express 2.0 x1 slots as well as four SATA 6Gbps ports and 32Gbps M.2 slot.

The rest of the features include four USB 3.1 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 5.1-channel audio and red LED lighting glowing from four corners of the motherboard. Although it is a budget oriented motherboard, MSI decided to include a couple of features like Audio Boost, Turbo M.2, DDR4 Boost, EZ Debug LED and Steel Armor PCIe slot.

The MSI A320 Grenade will be joining the rest of MSI's AM4 motherboard lineup which includes A320M Gaming Pro, A320M Bazooka and the A320M Pro-VD/s motherboards. The price of A320M Grenade in Europe is set at €79 (US $70).
